Hey CCB......you CAN do this! I am positive!
I came to the party "late"...as in I was out & about all day yesterday, so am just seeing your posts! I love this group! Everyone is so supportive & helpful.....I heart you all!!!! Make them CD's do what YOU want them too!!! :) |
Let's just say it took a LOT of alcohol to remove the ink from my hands and it's still not quite gone. I have shadow ink fingers. lol
I'm taking a break from crafting and cracked up at clay talking about getting tough with the discs. |
Hey, hey....guess what I discovered? Apparently, I painted the wrong damn side of the discs. I had it right. I double checked it and then I think I flipped them when I was watching something.
All of them. :|<--truly my face Rewind and start over....... |
How many projects do we have to make? I can't find the post. Thank you in advance. 9 stands out to me but I'm not sure.
|
I think 7.

CCB & nycfem We are to make 8!!!! Unless you want to make an "extra" for yourself....(9 peeps signed up....) Breathless Besame sis clay Gemme nycfem GeorgiaMa'am CCB FireSignFemme.....:) |
Thank you clay!
|
All of you who signed up for the recycled project...:)
hey crafter friends:
I would like to ask Breathless & all the rest of you, if you all would mind if I mail my projects to each of you individually? I apologize for lateness in asking, but the total project just came together in this form in last couple of days. I did something totally different than original thoughts. Mine are not going to fit "flat" and rather than have ship outs cost more than the $5 allotted fees, I rather just do them to each of you myself. I will not be around a computer again until Monday afternoon late....will be out of town & without WiFi (chosen to be that way) til then. Thanks for any considerations....I heart you all...I am so excited for this project!!! |

To our group...please remember mailing costs this time around 📮📦 |

i don't believe there is anything in the rules that says you can't, the only thing that would hinder that idea is if someone individually was not comfy giving out their address, but on that note, you are not a new bird to our nest, and based on previous projects that info is already common knowledge to some ;-) I think it's totally fine.

The rest of the projects are being mailed to Besame* correct?

Of course, if anyone knows of a punch that will push through one of these discs, and maintain the integrity of the piece of disc, I will be happy to go back to my original vision which was awesome but also awesomely difficult because I can't shape this stuff for anything. doh Breathe in, breathe out.... :tea: |

Well, I know my project was received by Breathless ...... she had to do a bit of a mending but for the most part they arrived okay.
On a personal note, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Only three more sleeps for me before I head to Canada. I'm looking forward to the continuing my life journey as I start a new chapter. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend if you live in Canada or the US. Its a regular weekend here in China although I hosted a BYOY (Build Your Own BreakfastBurrito) for the dozen other Canadians I work with on Friday, July 1st, Canada Day. Tomorrow I'm saying to goodbye from my job in the library and acknowledging the 4th of July with cupcakes similar to this: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...pictureid=1236 Have a great Sunday! Deb :tea: |

I'm planning to mail out on Tuesday latest. Still doing finishing touches :).
|
I've still got a couple days work to do as well. I'm racing against the clock though!
|
I'm finished! I always make 4 or 5 extra to keep in my stash. I cut and filed all my pieces for this project. It was a challenge, but I made practice pieces as I went along.
Time to get them in the mail soon. I sent my address. Please let me know you received my message. Thank you :) |
2:30 early morning of July 4th and I just finished. Was that cutting it close or what! Since everything is closed I can't mail out till Tuesday but it's all ready to go. I got your address yesterday, thanks for sending it and thanks to our wrangler/wrangler's assistant for making this swap possible - happy 4th and happy crafting everybody. :)

i just want to say.. I'm pretty impressed with us! Everyone of you deserve a pat on the back! Great job everyone! This project was out of the norm, out of comfort zones for some, lots of trial and error, and some crazy failure, my self included .. P.s don't bake on cheap dollar wax paper cause you will be left scrubbing each piece to clear from bits of paper that resemble a bad attack of toilet paper cling ons-- what a head ache ;-) --- and the projects we deliver will be art, filled with our own creativity. I truly believe that sometimes the best works are the ones you never thought you could make. High 5 y'all .. And a happy 4th!!
|
Thanks for everyone who is doing this project! Mine turned out great, I think!!!!
I am sure each piece will be a genuine work of art....and made from the heart...that is what I enjoy...feeling everyone's energies & seeing where they were on any give project piece! Mine will be finished tomorrow & go out Wednesday for sure...to each person!!! Thank you Breathless for this awesome idea & thanks to Besame' for wrangling mailing of said projects!!! Happy 4th to all of you..... and sis...those cupcakes made my mouth water....they looked scrumptious!!!! |

I mailed mine out today, it should arrive on July 8.

I mailed mine out yesterday but it was after 2 o'clock so they said three days. But for other people the mail might just be moving slow because of catching up they have to do, due to the long holiday. Also our post office is in the middle of some sort of customer survey right now and though I don't know about elsewhere around here things always seem to take a lot longer, rather than get where they're headed quicker, when they are conducting one - who knows why. Well maybe because it's counterintuitive and this is the post office so there you have it.
|
I mailed each of yours individually, this afternoon.......in the US...you should receive them by Saturday. Please let me know ASAP when you get them....or don't so I can track it down...lol.
CANADA.....not sure when yours will reach the two of you.....let me know when you do receive them please!!! |
And Canada may have a postal strike on Friday .. Sending via dhl
|
What's the due date for the I project again? I'm confused. It's supposed to go in the mail on the 6th and the absolute latecomers deadline it needs to be in Bseame*'s hands by the 13 th? I ask because I'm struggling to finish and will not get them in the mail on the 6th.
|
PS I'm really struggling with deadlines obviously and am questioning whether or not I should even be joining projects anymore.

You're not alone. I have had some excellent ideas but trouble with the execution so I'm doing some 11th hour changes too as well as logistics. Glue doesn't like to glue in 100 degree temps. Now that I have a band aid to the a/c problem in my home, I can try again. Remember, each piece only needs to have at least one piece of the cd/dvd on it and it can be big or small. You can do pieces covered with broken pieces or have one whole chunk of the disc. The only hard rule is that it must have some form of a disc on it, as the theme is recycling and that's understood by the repurposing of the discs. You can even take a disc or a disc fragment and paint a picture on it. That would count too as you are using the disc for your base. I wanted to try something along the lines of stained glass but I'm not heating up the apartment with the stove so that was, and still is, out of the question but if you have the materials, it's not too bad of a project if you keep it small. If you look for recycled disc projects, most of them use the whole disc or do mosaics but those aren't too bad either. Don't forget; others have posted that they had some misfires too. I think that this is an awesome project but it does have some trickery to it, depending on what you are trying. You can do this, J! |
Thanks Gemme. I should be able to get mine in the mail by the final final deadline. I opted to just paint and collage the CDs and keep I simple. My original idea was too ambitious. I'm working like hell today and i should finish and get them in the mail tomorrow. Thanks for the kick in the butt.
